EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, April 10 /PRNewswire/ --
Simutech has announced the expansion of its Technical Sales Automation (TSA)
business and eValab(TM) Services to include IC components. It's services now
support complete, secure hosting services for: IP Service Providers, DSP and
MPU Semiconductor Manufacturers, ASIC and PLD Semiconductor Vendors,
Electronics Distributors, and SoC IP Commerce Portals.
"The IC industry has the same need for streamlining evaluation of
components as the IP industry that we already serve," commented Dan Yoder,
executive vice president, Simutech. "By engaging with Insight and others, we
are now able to provide the same strong value proposition to the much larger
IC market. The work we are doing with Insight is setting the standard for how
IC components will be evaluated."
IC SERVICES PROMOTE TECHNICAL SALES ROI AND INCREASE "DEMAND CREATION"
eValab Services is based on Simutech's eValab Platform and addresses the
industries challenge to minimize the expense of semiconductor device promotion
and support. Additionally, designers are now able to engage earlier in the
design-in process and assess: function, quality, and architectural
characteristics of high-value embedded cores or chips such as digital signal
processors (DSPs), microcontrollers, and SoC platforms. Simutech's eValab
Services features and benefits include:
-- Online evaluation -- A powerful lease and subscription-based online
semiconductor evaluation service designed from the ground up to run
over the Internet; it is not a hosted third-party packaged application.
-- Automated Technical Sales -- Allows company's to train geographically
distributed Technical Sales/AE Teams with real hardware. Remotely
screen prospects before AEs are engaged with customer. And, allows AEs
to demonstrate key features interactively, without painful set-up
times. Saving designers weeks to first-level benchmarks through the use
of user data or software.
-- Shrinks time-to-sale -- Minimizes designer's reliance on demo boards,
AE time, and distribution of encrypted, black box, HDL models or part
samples. Thereby eliminating the customer's need for multiple
prototyping turns.
-- More efficient -- It eliminates many of the issues related to HW/SW
revisions that often plague evaluation boards and preliminary
documentation, resulting in more efficiency and better customer
support.
"We believe that Simutech's eVaLab Services will be a valuable service to
our customers. Its innovative architecture for doing web-based real-time
dynamic evaluations of high performance semiconductor ASSP solutions, in a
'virtual-reference platform' design environment where the customer can
evaluate products in a simulated application environment offers an ideal
'design-win' solution for both the customer and the vendor," commented
Jim Stevens, Director Technical Marketing, Insight. "We are currently working
with Simutech and one of our semiconductor partners to host an eValab site for
customers executing, dynamic evaluation of their high performance product."
Stevens continued, "eValab's ability to evaluate products in a simulated
application environment will allow the customer to run benchmarks and user
data without the need for a reference board, while enabling our FAEs to bring
in more highly qualified leads. It's ability to remotely demonstrate high
performance ASSPs, saves time and energy in the customer qualification
process."
